Overview
A 68 HRC blade sits inside the iCrimp CWR's polypropylene handle, a hand cutter sized for material up to 6mm in diameter and built for wire and cable work.
A 68 HRC hardness rating is on the harder end for a hand tool blade, which is typically how a jaw stays sharp through repeated wire cuts rather than relying on brute leverage. The polypropylene handle keeps overall weight down compared with a forged all metal grip, a common tradeoff on cutters aimed at wire and cable rather than bolts.
- Blade hardness: 68 HRC
- Handle material: polypropylene
- Rated cutting size: 6mm
- Model: CWR
Who it's for
Works for electricians and cable installers who need a compact cutter for wire or cable up to roughly 6mm, not for anyone cutting bolts or rebar.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Blade hardened to 68 HRC for edge retention
- Lightweight polypropylene handle
- Sized for material up to 6mm
- Not built for thick bolts or hardened rebar
- Overall length and jaw type aren't listed
Performance notes
A 68 HRC rating puts the CWR's edge on the harder side for hand tools, which is generally how a jaw keeps its sharpness through many wire cuts rather than adding raw cutting force. The polypropylene handle keeps the tool light in the hand, at the tradeoff of the heft a forged steel handled cutter would add.
